I do wonder what's going to happen if they get in a big fight, as five-year-olds are wont to do.
I will have to rewatch this film, because I don't remember the ending hinging on Sosuke's eternal fidelity so much as his ability to love and accept Ponyo whether she's a fish or a person or both or whatever, which seems like a pretty reasonable thing to assume can survive fights and growing up.
I loved it when I saw it because it was one of the most interesting variations I'd seen on The Little Mermaid," and because of Fujimoto, and because it made me want a bowl of noodles with ham.
